NEW Brother BX1 Sewing & Embroidery Machine: Sewing Features


Industry-First Curve Sewing
- Less pressure when the needle is down
- Normal feed when the needle rises
- Easier fabric rotation on curves
Curve Sewing lowers the presser foot pressure when the needle is down so you can guide and rotate fabric with less resistance. As the needle rises, normal pressure returns to feed the fabric forward, which makes curved seams and detailed shapes easier to control.

754 Stitches and 774 Embroidery Designs
- 754 built-in sewing stitches
- 774 embroidery designs
- 140 frames and 23 fonts
The built-in library covers 754 sewing stitches and 774 embroidery designs, including 140 decorative frames and 23 fonts. You have utility, decorative, and quilting stitches for sewing, plus a wide design range for embroidery, all on one machine.

Generous Workspace and 8" x 14" Embroidery Area
- 10" needle-to-arm space
- 10.0" throat space
- 8" x 14" embroidery area
A 10" needle-to-arm space and a 4.1" x 10.0" work area give you room to manage larger quilts and garments. The 8" x 14" embroidery area handles sizable designs without constant re-hooping.

External Laser Guideline Marker
- Adjustable projected guideline
- Straight-line or edge stitching
- Works with decorative stitches
The included laser guideline marker projects an adjustable line onto your fabric to help you sew straight lines or stitch along an edge. It works with both straight and decorative stitches.

My Custom Stitch and Stitch Tapering
My Custom Stitch lets you build and save your own decorative stitches to reuse across projects. Stitch Tapering automatically narrows or widens decorative stitches at the start and end of a seam for a clean finish.

Crystal-Clear 7" LCD Display
The 7" high-definition color touchscreen shows crisp icons and design previews. On-screen editing and help are available in 18 languages.

Artspira Mobile App
The Artspira app turns your own sketches into stitchable designs and adds project ideas and step-by-step tutorials. A free app download and wireless connection are required, and compatibility varies by device.

Intelligent Stitch Regulator
Optional accessory, sold separately (Brother SASR1).
The Intelligent Stitch Regulator keeps free-motion stitch lengths consistent by matching needle timing to fabric feed speed. It offers Continuous, Intermittent, and Basting modes and includes three free-motion feet (Regular, Open-Toe, and Echo). It is a separate accessory, not included with the machine.

Optional Wide Table
Optional accessory, sold separately (Brother SAWTXJB).
The Wide Table adds a large, flat sewing surface of about 25" x 16" for quilts and other big projects. It attaches and detaches quickly. It is a separate accessory, not included with the machine.
